4. LATE-NIGHT MUSIC AT THE FROG & ONION PUBA popular stop located in the historic Royal Naval Dockyard, the Frog & Onion Pub is a great spot for late-night live music in a classic British pub atmosphere.

6. DANCE MUSIC AT BERMUDA BISTRO AT THE BEACHLocated on Hamilton's Front Street, Bermuda Bistro at the Beach gets bumpin’ after dark with DJs spinning danceable tunes into the wee hours of the morning. Added bonus: Pub food is served until midnight, and it's also a great place to catch a sporting event.

We're also expecting America's Cup to announce a live music programme any day now which will add to the fantastic atmosphere and Bermudian experience of the 35th America's Cup.
